Write the negation of the following statement. (You can write "epsilon" for € and "delta" for 8.) For every positive number €, there is a positive number & such that |x-a| < 8 implies |f(x) - f(a)| < €. Write the negation of the following statement. For every prime number p, there is another prime number 9 with q> p.

Question

Please solve the following discrete math problem: 

 

Write the negation of the following statement. (You can write "epsilon" for € and "delta" for
8.)
For every positive number e, there is a positive number 8 such that |x − a| < 8 implies |ƒ(x) —
f(a) < €.
Write the negation of the following statement.
For every prime number p, there is another prime number 9 with q> p.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Given the statements

(i) For every positive number epsilon, there is a positive number delta such that open vertical bar x minus a close vertical bar less than delta implies open vertical bar f left parenthesis x right parenthesis minus f left parenthesis a right parenthesis close vertical bar less than epsilon.

(ii) For every prime p, there is another prime q with q greater than p.

The aim is to find the negation of each statement.
